Today is the National Day of Prayer. That basically means there's a nation-wide effort by people of faith (Mostly Judeo-Christian) to pray together for God's grace and mercy on our lead based on that year's theme.
This year's theme is "Pray God's Glory Across the Earth" based on the Bible verse Habakkuk 2:14 that says:
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
This verse from the Old Testament (Jewish Scriptures) indicates what God will do (not just might do). It's significant. God will fill the earth with his knowledge and glory. That means he'll fill the earth with the glory of his kingdom.
Truth.
Love.
Justice.
Adventure.
Beauty.
Healing.
Reconciliation.
Restoration.
Wholeness.
Peace.
It sounds like something I definitely want to be in on!
Let's pray for God to restore our world so that these characteristics describe where we live, work and play.
